As I descend into the realm of RC cars, there are decisions to make. One is battery choice.
As it arrived yesterday (super fast shipping for those who care, I Paypal’d the money on Thursday, and the truck arrived on Monday) I felt the need to get the rubber side down and test it out.
First, the body is perfect. No noticeable blemishes. A stock X-maxx with any real ‘bashing’ on the clock will have some scrapes, gouges, and possibly cracks in the lexan shell. It is clean.
Well, the contagion continues. The bug to go big - ignited by Kevin Talbot's YT channel, made me look seriously for a used Traxxas X-Maxx 8s. Now one is on the way
COVID-19 is altering my commute. For the worst.
TCM is a great channel, running uncut, uninterrupted films from the past and not so distant past. But they also show some garbage.
The "get the fuck outta G-Suite" project continues, this time focusing on the unending list of email lists that spam me.
The RC Car saga continues…
Thursday afternoon, I received the steering posts I ordered, two days early! Woot! So, I found a little time to get the front end of my buggy back together. After installing the servo arm upside down (d’oh!) I got it sorted out, I got out yesterday afternoon for some driving on the street near my house.
Google's g-suite is wearing out its welcome, and it is time for a replacement. But the natural options (O365) isn't much better. Proton Mail seems like a reasonable choice
Well, I think I figured out why I stripped that fucking button head screw.
To facilitate the repair, I removed the steering post. It appears that instead of using thread locker (aka Locktite), the builder used cyanoacrylate adhesive. For the uninitiated that is super glue.
